For me, I was looking forward to something that would focus on the character completely separate from the actress. 31 minutes ago, Morrigan2575 said: He was full time in S10 (22 eps) and S9 (20 + 2 episodes with credit only).

Chris Claremont Returns to the X-Men for Colossus and Kitty’s Wedding by Tim Adams February 17, 2018https://www.cbr.com/x-men-chris-claremont-wedding-special/ Quote Legendary writer Chris Claremont returns to the X-Men for an all-new story in X-Men Wedding Special #1, a companion one-shot to the Kitty Pryde and Colossus wedding taking place in X-Men Gold #30. The side story will feature Kitty Pryde, who is marrying her fellow X-Man Colossus in the pages of X-Men Gold, a story being billed as “the wedding of the century.” Writers Kelly Thompson and Marc Guggenheim will also provide stories for the momentous occasion, along with artists Greg Land, Marika Cresta and others not yet announced. “X-Men weddings are always a big deal, if only because they’re so rare,” Kelly Thompson said in Marvel’s press release. “I think you probably have to go all the way back to X-Men #30 in 1994 – the wedding of Jean Grey and Cyclops – to get a wedding as potentially big as the wedding of Kitty Pryde and Colossus: two X-Men who’ve been around (and on again/off again) for literal decades.” * * *X-Men Wedding Special #1 is part of the saga playing out in X-Men Gold issues #26-#30, appropriately titled “‘Til Death Do Us Part.” Of course, a wedding in superhero comics is not complete without the threat of villainous wedding crashers, so readers will have to pick up the issues to see if the nuptials are completed without any drama. * * *X-Men Wedding Special #1, written by Marc Guggenheim, Kelly Thompson and Chris Claremont, with art by Greg Land, Marika Cresta and more, goes on sale May 16.

tv echo February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 Behind the Scenes of the Arrowverse ‘Suit-Up’ Trailer Posted by Dan Wickline February 17, 2018https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/02/17/behind-the-scenes-of-the-arrowverse-suit-up-trailer/ Quote In the previous two years the DCTV had put together the Superhero Fight Club videos, a short video of the heroes of the Arrowverse coming together to spar against each other. The first one featured the heroes and villains of the Flash and Arrow. At that point Supergirl was on CBS and Legends of Tomorrow didn’t start until midseason. The second brought all the heroes together in a ‘danger room’ type setting run by Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). This years video was called “Suit Up” and featured the heroes getting ready for the training session. Two versions were released with the second, an extended version, showing Black Lightning (Cress Williams) at the end. * * * They have now released a bit of a behind the scenes clip which you can see below followed by the full Suit Up video. We get to see some of the stand-ins for the actors that didn’t appear in the video, but their costume did. We got face shots of Green Arrow (Stephen Amell), Flash (Grant Gustin), Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), White Canary (Caity Lotz), Atom (Brandon Routh), Wild Dog (Rick Gonzalez), and Vibe (Carlos Valdes). But we got doubles for Spartan, Kid Flash, Heatwave, Citizen Steel and Vixen. (TV Promos) 1 Link to comment

The Arrowverse: 7 Photoshop Fancastings That Are Way Better Than What We Got (And 8 That Are Worse) by Irina Curovic February 17, 2018https://www.cbr.com/good-bad-arrowverse-fancastings/ Quote 14. BETTER: CHARLIE HUNNAM AS GREEN ARROW ... Stephen Amell makes an awesome Green Arrow, make no mistake. Over the years, this Canadian actor has essentially become synonymous with his role, which says a lot about the quality of his performance. Nevertheless, there seem to be quite a few fancasting ideas about who’d make a better Oliver Queen. A popular choice is Sons of Anarchy actor Charlie Hunnam. If you’ve ever seen Hunnam, there’s no need to explain why this is a popular concept and why it would probably work. Charlie Hunnam has got everything down from the physique, the blond hair, and, last but not least, the trademark goatee. The actor’s also demonstrated he has the chops for action in movies such as Pacific Rim. With Hunnam’s looks and abilities we have no doubt he’d make a fine Green Arrow, especially now that we’ve seen this amazing edit by Ilvir Safin. * * *8. BETTER: NATALIE DORMER AS BLACK CANARY ... The Black Canary problem is something that could have been felt from the very start of Arrow. The show didn’t seem to know what to do with Laurel, besides pining her in a number of love triangles with Oliver. Her transformation into Black Canary was underwhelming, to say the least, and her death felt like a cheap trick to boost the ratings. But is it possible that the role was simply miscast and that perhaps a different actress would have done a better job? Well, not likely. Although, we’re kind of digging spdrmnkyxxiii’s edit of Natalie Dormer as the Black Canary. While we don’t think Katie Cassidy is to blame for the character’s demise, we wouldn’t mind seeing Dormer in her place. Just for the hell of it. 15. WORSE: TOPHER GRACE AS THE ATOM 14. BETTER: CHARLIE HUNNAM AS GREEN ARROW 13. WORSE: RYAN GOSLING AS GREEN ARROW 12. BETTER: DAN STEVENS AS REVERSE-FLASH 11. WORSE: MATT BARR AS THE FLASH 10. BETTER: MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY AS REVERSE-FLASH 9. WORSE: TOM WELLING AS SUPERMAN 8. BETTER: NATALIE DORMER AS BLACK CANARY 7. WORSE: EMINEM AS CAPTAIN COLD 6. BETTER: YVONNE STRAHOVSKI AS SUPERGIRL 5.

If he can get rid of that thuggish vibe he has in that show, which he hopefully can because he seems to be a pretty good actor, he'd been fine as GA actingwise. I just can't get past his accent work though. I can always tell his American accent is fake. If they want GA to have a British accent they might as well just make a Robin Hood movie. 1 Link to comment
Starfish35 February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Deadline report on Black Panther box office numbers: ‘Black Panther’ Continues To Make B.O. History: $195M+ Opening Beats ‘Ultron’ & 4-Day Eyeing $225M+: Sunday Final Quote Sunday 8:05AM: Disney is reporting Sunday estimates of $192M over three days for Black Panther and $218M over four. However, Black Panther domination is far from over. Industry estimates believe it’s significantly higher at $195.3M three-day for Marvel’s Black Panther and a $225.7M four-day, and that’s because hourlies are flying off the grid, with some analysts’ four-day projections at $230M. Saturday raked in $65.9M, according to Disney, and their report this morning shows Black Panther as the fifth-highest opening of all-time on the three-day domestic chart after Avengers ($207.4M) and before Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.3M). The Ryan Coogler-directed superhero movie is also beating Ultron‘s four-day take of $204.4M. 7 Link to comment
quarks February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 I've just seen tentative estimates from Disney suggesting a possible $2 billion at the box office by end March (Black Panther, A Wrinkle in Time), $4 billion by end May (adding in Avengers: Infinity War), and $6.5 billion by end June (adding in Solo and Incredibles 2). That's all assuming a decent take for A Wrinkle in Time as well, but still. I'd say that so far, signs point to Disney being on track for another good year at the box office, even if Solo bombs. 2 Link to comment
tv echo February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 (edited) Kevin Feige on the Future of Marvel’s Women (Including Danai, Tessa, Brie, and Michelle) By Kyle Buchanan February 16, 2018http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/kevin-feige-on-okoye-captain-marvel-and-michelle-pfeiffer.html Quote Marvel has remained cagey on which films the studio is readying beyond the fourth Avengers film out next summer, but based on rumors and buzz, the future could be female. Next year will see the release of the first Marvel Studios film to topline a woman — Captain Marvel, starring Brie Larson — and the company recently hired a writer to pen a stand-alone Black Widow movie that would star Scarlett Johansson. That’s on top of all the female characters who pop in Black Panther, like Danai Gurira’s Okoye, Lupita Nyong’o’s Nakia, and Letitia Wright’s Shuri, as well as recent Marvel Cinematic Universe addition Tessa Thompson, who made a big impression in Thor: Ragnarok and is said to have pressed Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige on the possibility of making a film led by a collection of these breakout actresses. “It is an embarrassment of riches,” Feige recently told Vulture with a big grin on his face. “Even watching the audience at the Black Panther premiere respond to Lupita, Letitia, and certainly Danai in their action sequences … you watch Danai spinning around in that casino, taking out dozens of people, and you go, ‘Of course you can make a whole movie about that!’” But when might Marvel pull the trigger on such a project? Thompson’s Valkyrie proved to be a great partner for Thor in Ragnarok, but with that franchise’s star Chris Hemsworth coming to the end of his contract, there’s no guarantee that a fourth Thor film will be made. Is it a studio priority to find another place for Thompson to do her thing? * * * “It is all about figuring out when and how,” admitted Feige. “But by the way, many of them have already filmed additional scenes in upcoming movies, so some of that is gonna come sooner rather than later. All of them will be seen again.” In the short term, Feige is likely referring to this May’s Avengers: Infinity War, which finds room for nearly every prominent Marvel character thus far and will include appearances by Gurira, Wright, and Thompson. They’ll be taking on series baddie Thanos (Josh Brolin), who arrives with a crew of his own mo-capped alien henchpeople including the wonderfully named villainess Proxima Midnight. “There are interesting people doing the voices,” of those henchpeople, said Feige. But don’t expect him to reveal exactly who he’s hired just yet, though any actress would be lucky to have “Proxima Midnight” on her IMDb page. “You’ll probably know when you see the movie,” said Feige. * * * And then there’s Michelle Pfeiffer, who will join Ant-Man and the Wasp as Janet Van Dyne, the long-lost wife of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and mother to Hope (Evangeline Lilly). The character is an enormously important one in the comic books, and Pfeiffer herself has already given us a career-best contribution to the superhero canon with her performance as Catwoman in Batman Returns. That’s a whole lot to live up to, but Feige guarantees that Pfeiffer will deliver. “I don’t want to say too much, but I will say that’s she’s every bit as iconic and amazing in this part as you would imagine,” he said. “People ask sometimes about movie stars and star power and who’s the most exciting person to be around, and the truth is that once you get to know them as people, they don’t feel like movie stars — everybody is just a super-impressive human. But in a room full of movie stars, Michelle Pfeiffer rises to the top.” Feige recently corralled all of the actors from his films into one big tenth anniversary photo, and it wasn’t Robert Downey Jr. or Chris Pratt who had everyone turning their heads. “You can tell how big Michelle is,” said Feige, “because all the other movie stars are going, ‘Is that Michelle Pfeiffer over there?’” Edited February 19, 2018 by tv echo 2 Link to comment
tv echo February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 (edited) EXCLUSIVE: Barry Allen Will Face Off Against Hyrax On THE FLASH Sean Novicki January 10, 2018http://thathashtagshow.com/2018/01/exclusive-hyrax-the-flash/ Quote But the Thinker isn’t the only challenge Barry and the gang are going to be up against. The show’s always gonna need more villains for our heroes to tackle, and here at THS, we have yet another exclusive character breakdown revealing who one of those villains is going to be. This time, the baddy is a deep cut from the Green Arrow comics of the mid ‘90s: Hyrax. Here’s the breakdown: [VERONICA DALE] Mid 20s-30s. Female, an Environmental Activist (back when she was still sane) turned Animal Liberator turned Domestic Terrorist, who’s the leader of the Eden Corps — a cult-like organization that proposes to turn back the clock to a pre-industrial age — and if millions of innocent people have to die in the process, well, that’s just tough…LARGE PRINCIPAL This description hews pretty closely to the Veronica Dale, aka Hyrax, of the comics. In the comics, she was also head of the Eden Corps, and also followed a mission of cleansing the Earth of toxic human influence. She attempted to use a bomb called Mutajek 9-9 on Metropolis, which would have destroyed any material containing plastics. While it wouldn’t be surprising to see Hyrax try and use a similar weapon on The Flash, we can’t really use the comics to make too many predictions about how the show will use her. She appeared in Green Arrow comics, after all, even going so far as to develop a romantic relationship with Oliver Queen when he covertly infiltrated the Eden Corps. Appearing on The Flash instead of Arrow will probably require some alterations to her story. Edited February 19, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment

tennisgurl February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 I feel like when Wally gets on the Waverider, Sara will be like "Sure you can join us Wally, on one condition...you lose that thing on your head. We put up with a lot, but thats just too much". I know I've said this before, but I really do love how much time is spent with the characters on LoT, and how it can build a whole episode, like tonight's, around character development of its newest member, and the relationships between the characters, while also mixing up pairings. A lot of that is just showing the characters hanging out and doing normal people stuff (doing Laundry, drinking coffee, playing with whip cream) and talking, and just having fun with the characters, who are having fun with each other. Those weirdos, just, like, really love each other, you know? They have such feelings. 7 Link to comment

way2interested February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 I loved the episode and all, but man they faltered on sticking the landing. The moment Gideon actually called what happened a plot device and basically screamed to the audience "This is filler. None of this matters except that Zari now has a lot more feelings towards the team" made me yell at the screen. It was nice how Zari got to feel closer to the team (kind of weird that it has to be knowing stuff that they don't know she knows or knows she experienced but whatever this is LoT it's just asking me to go along with it for the nice scenes) and hopefully opened the door to bring that 2042 plot back in (even though from the plot descriptions it doesn't look like it, this episode made me want it more than Zari's origin episode). The fun montage was amazing. I laughed out loud at the Hawk mask still being on the Waverider. 2 minutes ago, statsgirl said: why wasn't Ray in that ending montage? Was wondering that too.

They couldn't have the ship blow up and kill everyone, so even if it all really happened, and they managed to save Zari, everyone probably would have just been like "well, another disaster averted" and have gone about their way. Nothing really happened or changed plot wise anyway, it was all about Zari getting to know the team, and seeing everyone interact with each other, and deal with their issues. And with Zari remembering everything, she at least managed to convince her other team members to move on a bit with their latest personal issues, even if it didn't technically happen. So the plot didn't move, but the characters did, and character has always been where LoT shines most anyway. And they established that Mick does, in fact, spend his free time writing science fiction romance novels on a typewriters, and thats the big take away from all of this. 5 Link to comment

I did like that in the "timeline" where he and Zari got small, he died pushing her out of the way to save her life and how that then influenced her to be willing to sacrifice her life for the team as well. I had been worried that Nick was going to hog her attention. I think Ray's big secret was just the thing about Sara that Constantine told him. Edited February 20, 2018 by BkWurm1 5 Link to comment

The vision of him in his glasses, pecking out sci fi bodice rippers on his typewriter in that very futuristic time ship is perfect. I also liked Sara being okay with Zari saving her brother since Zari's past is her future. My only complaint about the episode (other than hearing Nick and Amaya which made me gag too) is that they're overdoing it on Ray as being a lovable goof. The guy built up a multi-billion dollar company, I'm ready to have him show some leadership and gravitas. 1 Link to comment

It was cool that the main things she learned about the team were the things that they needed pushes on to move forward, which is why the episode mostly worked, but literally being told "it was all a dream/simulation" just threw me off.

Sakura12 February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 (edited) I didn't mind the simulation time loop since it was Gideon that planned the whole thing to teach Zari about team work. She was basically playing Sims with Zari. Gideon protects the her team and she knows they are all needed to fight Mallus or even more when Mallus takes over Sara.

tarotx February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 (edited) I didn't mind the simulation aspect. It kept Sara's deaths non-real, gave us direct insight into Zari and Gideon. I consider Gideon her own character. She reminds me of the Machine from Person of Interest. Their do-over and over episode was a simulation as well so that aspect was cool for me. Plus we do see that Gideon knows her team so the insight to each member was true. Edited February 20, 2018 by tarotx 1 Link to comment

scarynikki12 February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 The LOT ratings make sense. Olympics generally, but last nights ice dancing in particular, was a crazy night. Their delayed views should make up for it. 3 Link to comment

Sakura12 February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 It's interesting that they are going to the Old West for the finale. 1 Link to comment
Mellowyellow February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 hehe I liked Wally's manbun! I keep seeing manbuns cropping up on my reality shows so got a kick out of that. I want LoT to devote an episode to the Ray/Nate/Mick best friend triangle! Nate claimed Ray was his bestie but I reckon Mick is awfully fond of Ray too! I want a bestie drama ep!!!!!!!! 2 Link to comment
SmallScreenDiva February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 One of my friends muttered "Jesus, he's got a man bun" during the end-credits scene for Black Panther and for a second I thought "Jesus has a man bun?" This might make more sense if you've seen the movie :P 4 Link to comment
